He wouldnt be in the side if i was in charge thats for sure. we have Aurelio who does a better job when fit, Arbeloa can play there, and we allowed Stephen Warnock to leave for Blackburn, where he is now developing into a classy full back.

I don't know Warnock tbh. Aurelio was really good back in his Valencia days, but he has barely played in recent years and Arbeloa I don't rate very highly, he seems a bit clumsy with the ball at his feet.
I used to rate Riise highly (a few years ago), when I just watched highlights of the Premier league, but recently I realized how crap he is defending. I also used to think that his shooting was one of his main attributes, but also recently realized that he only hits the target 1 out of 8 shots.
There was a report on the Portuguese press that Valencia were interested, don't know if it's true though.
